        TERROR BOMBING

        by Prof. H. Granot and Dr. J. Levinson

        In this innovative and highly relevant work, the authors stress ways in which local agencies can respond to and mitigate the effects of the worst acts of terror faced by urban authorities. The authors combine theory and practice, citing incidents around the world (including the devastating 9/11 attacks on the WTC in NYC and the Pentagon), while emphasizing Israel’s special experience in this field. In light of the increasing threat of terrorist acts and the rising interest in emergency management, Terror Bombing provides a solid background for officials and emergency response personnel who are seeking to understand one of the most dangerous threats to modern life. A Japanese-language edition of this title has been published in late 2005 by Namiki Shobo. An English-language North-American edition was co-published in April 2009 by Dekel with THE KEY Publishing House Inc., Toronto, Canada, followed by an E-book edition in 2010. 194 pages, 17X24 cm

        Culture in Manchester

        Institutions and urban change since 1850

        by Janet Wolff, Mike Savage

        This book brings together studies of cultural institutions in Manchester from 1850 to the present day, giving an unprecedented account of the city's cultural evolution. These bring to light the remarkable range of Manchester's contribution to modern cultural life, including the role of art education, popular theatre, religion, pleasure gardens, clubs and societies. The chapters show the resilience and creativity of Manchester's cultural institutions since 1850, challenging any simple narrative of urban decline following the erosion of Lancashire's industrial base, at the same time illustrating the range of activities across the social classes. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the cultural life of the city of Manchester, including cultural historians, sociologists and urban geographers, as well as general readers with interests in the city. It is written by leading international authorities, including Viv Gardner, Stephen Milner, Mike Savage, Bill Williams and Janet Wolff.

        A Study on Contemporary Chinese Visual Culture

        by Zhou Xian

        What do the alteration of typical characters in Chinese TV series and the sudden rise of reality show say about the great transformation of Chinese society? How does Chinese avant-garde art, a representative of Chinses elite culture, develop following the social and economic reform? What kind of social psychology has been reflected by the burgeoning internet-based grassroots media in China? Answers all lie in this masterpiece edited by Professor Zhou Xian. Observing Chinese social transformation from the unique perspective of visual culture, the book not only portrays a complete landscape of contemporary Chinese visual culture which covers mass culture, avant-garde art, grassroots media, city image, scopic regime and visual technology, but also reveals the interrelationship between visual culture and the social and individual construction since 1970s.

        by Prof. H. Granot y el Dr. J. Levinson

        ATENTADOS TERRORISTAS: la nueva amenaza urbana por el Prof. H. Granot y el Dr. J. Levinson En este trabajo sumamente relevante e innovador, los autores hacen hincapié en los métodos con los que organismos locales pueden responder a los peores atentados terroristas que han debido enfrentar las autoridades en centros urbanos y mitigar sus efectos. Los autores también combinan la teoría con la práctica, citando incidentes en todo el mundo —incluido el devastador ataque perpetrado el 11 de septiembre de 2001 contra el Centro de Comercio Mundial en Nueva York y contra el Pentágono— haciendo al mismo tiempo hincapié en la singular experiencia de Israel en este campo. En vista de la creciente amenaza de atentados terroristas y del acrecentado interés en la gestión de casos de emergencia, Atentados terroristas provee un bien fundado material de fondo a funcionarios y miembros de unidades de emergencia que tratan de comprender una de las peores amenazas al mundo moderno.  Namiki Shobo ha publicado a fines de 2005 una versión en japonés de esta obra. Dekel, junto con THE KEY Publishing House Inc., de Toronto, Canadá, publicó en abril de 2009 una versión en inglés americano.

        Cancel Culture Transfer

        Wie eine moralische Panik die Welt erfasst | Das Phänomen »Cancel Culture« verstehen

        by Adrian Daub

        Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa, ja in der ganzen Welt – das Gespenst der Cancel Culture. Glaubt man diversen Zeitungen, dürfen insbesondere weiße Männer jenseits der vierzig praktisch nichts mehr sagen, wenn sie nicht ihren guten Ruf oder gar ihren Job riskieren wollen. Ist da etwas dran? Oder handelt es sich häufig um Panikmache, bei der Aktivist:innen zu einer Gefahr für die moralische Ordnung stilisiert werden, um ihre berechtigten Anliegen zu diskreditieren? Der Ursprung der Cancel Culture wird üblicherweise an US-Universitäten verortet. Adrian Daub lehrt im kalifornischen Stanford Literaturwissenschaft. Er zeigt, wie während der Reagan-Jahre entwickelte Deutungsmuster über Campus-Romane verbreitet und auf die Gesellschaft insgesamt übertragen wurden. Man pickt einige wenige Anekdoten heraus und reicht sie herum, was auch hierzulande zu einer verzerrten Wahrnehmung führt. Anhand quantitativer Analysen zeichnet Daub nach, wie diese Diagnosen immer weitere Kreise zogen, bis sie auch die Twitter-Kanäle deutscher Politiker erfassten.

Wir werden also eine Chance haben....Wisse es zu schätzen!Wenn du der Auferweckte bist.Du trägst die Verantwortung dafür,Den Rest Deiner Freunde, die noch schlafen, aufzuwecken.Denn sie sind genau wie du,Sie sind tapfer genug, um auf die Erde zu kommen.Ihr seid auch durch einen sehr starken Bund miteinander vereint.Wer auch immer in der Welt verloren ist,Diejenigen, die erwacht sindmüssen ihr Leben damit verbringen, sie aufzuwecken.(Dies ist das Gelübde, das alle Könige und Herren des Universums einander gegeben haben.)
